Description

A rare opportunity to own a property that brings together usable acreage, established infrastructure, and private river frontage in one setting. Spanning approximately 15.9 acres, the land has been thoughtfully cleared to create functional open space while maintaining privacy and natural surroundings, offering a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. With over 300 feet of river frontage and direct private access to the water, the property delivers both lifestyle and long term value. The horse barn and overall layout are a true standout. The 4 stall barn is well designed and ready for immediate use, supported by an established riding ring and open field space that allows for practical day to day use or future expansion. The setup is already in place and works as it stands, without the need for additional investment to get started. Five outbuildings add further versatility, including a greenhouse, garage, and chicken coop, along with additional structures for storage or hobby use. The land has been maintained in a way that balances usability with ease of upkeep, making it accessible without feeling overdeveloped. The home offers a comfortable and functional layout with three bedrooms and one full bathroom. The primary bedroom is large enough to be converted back into two separate rooms if desired, creating the option for a fourth bedroom. A wood stove in the basement provides a strong and efficient heat source, giving you the option to heat the home comfortably while managing energy costs. Bright, practical, and easy to live in, the home fits the property without overcomplicating it. Conveniently positioned between New Glasgow and Antigonish, the property offers a balance of privacy and accessibility, keeping amenities, services, and employment within easy reach. A well balanced property that delivers land, water access, and usable infrastructure in a way that is becoming harder to find.
